The 1990s were a weird decade for everyone: The White House was embroiled in bitter political scandal, Dunkaroos were still a thing, Will Smith was just a rapper with a TV show, and Justin Timberlake still allowed the public to see his natural hair (which resembled a bowl of ramen noodles). And, even better, there are '90s celebrity photos to commemorate that ramen noodle hair. I mean, I digress, but the main difference between us and everyone else you're about to read about is this: while you and I were wearing out our tattoo choker necklaces and kicking together the soles of our sneakers so they'd light up, these celebrities were getting kicked out of awards shows for being too drunk, posing with questionable props on the sets of Tiger Beat photoshoots, and generally pushing the '90s forward into the years of crimped hair and metallic pants that became the early 2000s.

Unfortunately, social media wasn't yet around to remind us of their exact thoughts (although I imagine it's better that way), but, luckily for us, there's always the Internet to remind everyone of how bizarre a time the '90s was for everyone around to perpetuate the phrase "talk to the hand." Here are the 11 most epic '90s photos that have been unearthed from the pre-social media rubble.
